Llegué a la música de Primus a través de Rush. A principio de los 90 Primus abrieron varios conciertos para el trío canadiense. Sólo por ese detalle despertaron mi curiosidad. Pensaba que me iba a encontrar con una especie de Rush en versión primigenia, unos clones que estaban por despegar. Y me encontré con una banda excéntrica, incisiva, inusual y sorpresiva liderada por el bajista y cantante Les Claypool, uno de los músicos más asombrosos de los últimos años.
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver fue la primera canción que escuché de Primus, una mezcla de rock, country, música alternativa, una gran locura divertida.
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver (Primus)
Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell."
Now Rex he was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.
He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick
And grabbed him by the kiwis.
Now he ain't pissed for a week.
(And a half!)
Now Wynona took her big brown beaver,
And she stuck him up in the air.
Said "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair."
Now the beaver onces slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright.
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite me.
Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it
Occurred to her she might have a porcupine.
